9. Laughing it off

If the person you are talking to is trying to laugh it off, he is most likely lying to you. Someone who wants to deceive you will try to make you laugh. This indirect sign of lies will disarm you and make the conversation less serious.

5. Freezing

Freezing, reluctance to give an answer, a long pause — these are clear signs of lies, especially if the question you asked was very simple. So if the person shows surprise only 2 or 3 seconds after he finds out about your problem, be sure that he is the one who ate your cake.

4. One-man show

If a person is “overacting,” he or she is most likely guilty. People’s emotions change quite quickly, with one emotion usually lasting no more than 6-10 seconds. However, if the person is insincere, he or she might try to act surprised for a longer period of time to convince you.

2. Repeating the question

1. Avoiding the answer

If a person is trying to avoid the answer, giving you a lot of irrelevant information or even trying to change the subject, he or she is most likely trying to “get away from the scene of the crime.” Pay attention to whether you are still talking about the problem or about something completely different.

In addition, pay attention to the person’s facial expressions. Here are details that signal lies:

1. Constant swallowing of saliva, coughing, and a stiff facial expression are all clear signs that the person is worried about being caught.

2. An asymmetrical face. When you are calm, your facial expressions are always symmetrical. And if one part of your face (or your body) is more active, it means the emotions are fake.

3. Eyes moving from side to side. If the person you are talking to is not shy, then he or she is probably lying to you.

Bonus: How about these girls?

Yes, they are beautiful, but don’t judge by appearances. Liars can be very convincing, so use our tips to figure out where the truth is.

And one more thing!

Be gentle, but don’t make mistakes. Even if 2 or more signs are visible, it doesn’t mean that the person intends to deceive you. Look and listen closely. Only when you are absolutely certain that at least 5 signs are visible in the person’s behavior should you think that they are lying to you. Good luck!
